The Sánchez de Iñigo Puzzle
New Genealogical Considerations
By Josá Antonio Esquibel
The genealogy of the Sánchez de Iñigo family of
seventeenth-century New Mexico has been a puzzle for researchers
interested in uncovering the paternal origins of this distinct New
Mexican family. Fray Angélico Chávez identified the progenitor of
the Sánchez de Iñigo family as Juana López, the mother of Jacinto
Sánchez de Iñigo and Pedro Sánchez de Iñigo, and presumably the
mother of doña Francisca Sánchez de Iñigo. A pre-nuptial
investigation record for Pedro referred to his mother, Juana López,
and did not offer any clues as to the identity of his father.
Similar records for Jacinto Sánchez de Iñigo and doña Francisca
Sánchez de Iñigo do not identify the names any parents for these
individuals. The origin of the Sánchez de Iñigo surname used by
these individuals has stumped New Mexico genealogical researchers
for the past fifty years, particularly because there have not been
any records extracted for a seventeenth-century settler of A New
Mexico with this surname. As such, It has been thought that the
Sánchez de Iñigo children were perhaps the children of one or more
men living in New Mexico during the latter half of the 1600s. Now,
recent research into seventeenth-century Inquisition records
pertaining to New Mexico has lead to uncovering records for a man
who was accused of "living scandalously" with a woman named Juana
López de Aragón in 1663, and the surname this man's mother was
Sánchez de Iñigo.
We know from Chávez's research that Jacinto Sánchez de Iñigo was
born circa 1663, having declared his age as twenty-two in 1685 and
his birthplace as New Mexico. Pedro Sánchez de Iñigo, born
circa 1673-1674, identified himself as a native of New Mexico and a
son of Juana López when he sought to marry doña Leonor Baca in
December 1691 at El Real de San Lorenzo in the El Paso,del Rio del
Norte area.3 Pedro signed his petition of marriage, indicating he
was a literate individual. In a later pre- nuptial investigation
record, dated 1698, Pedro Sánchez de Iñigo was clearly identified as
a son of Juana López, not Ana López as parenthetically indicated by
Fray Ángelico Chávez. In 1692, Juana López and Jacinto Sánchez
were padrinos for Francisco de Apodaca and Maria Lopez de Luna when
this couple married at Corpus Christi de Ysleta in the region of EI
Paso del Rio del Norte. Curiously, Jacinto Sánchez de Iñigo
claimed he did not know the names of his parents when he sought to
marry his second wife, Maria Rodarte de Castro Xabalera, in 1696.
Jacinto also had knowledge of letters since he wrote and signed his
own marriage petition in 1696. One of the witnesses for this pre-
nuptial investigation was Juan Trujillo, a native of the Rio Abajo
region of New Mexico, who declared he had known Jacinto "desde de
que nacio" ("since he was born")
On May 4, 1681, doña Francisca Sánchez de Iñigo
married Juan Garcia de Noriega, son of Maese de Campo Alonso Garcia
and doña Teresa Varela. Although Garcia de Noriega's parents
were identified in the pre-nuptial investigation record, the names
of doña Francisca's parents were not recorded. Two witnesses on
behalf of doña Francisca, Tiburcio de Ortega and Juan de Madrid,
both declared they had known her ""desde nina de pecho" (""since she
was a suckling child") and both certified that she was a
""Christiana e hija de Christianos biejos" (""Christian and daughter
of old Christians"), indicating they probably knew the identity of
her parents but for whatever reason they kept the information from
the record.
In early 1692 each of the three Sánchez de Iñigo
individuals were residing at EI Paso del Rio del Norte with their
spouses and each indicated their willingness to re-enter and settle
New Mexico under the command of Governor don Diego de Vargas. Doña
Francisca Sánchez de Iñigo and her husband Captain Juan Garcia de
Noriega, the alguacil mayor (high sheriff) of the Santa Fe cabildo
(town council) were listed as the second household of EI Paso with
four children (Juan Antonio, age eleven; Francisco, age seven; José,
five; and Maria, two) and ten others in their service. Their
son, Juan Antonio, was baptized at the church of Nuestra Señora de
Guadalupe in EI Paso on March 15, 1682, and was identified as being
""español," the son of Juan Garcia and doña Francisca Sánchez de
Iñigo. Jacinto Sánchez de Iñigo and Pedro Sánchez de Iñigo
were listed as households number thirty-three and thirty-four,
respectively. In the household of Jacinto and his first wife, Isabel
Telles Jirón, were their two children, Juana, age four, and José,
age one and a half, and one female dependent whose name was not
given. Pedro Sánchez de Iñigo and his wife Leonor Baca were
listed immediately following the family of Jacinto without any
children or other dependents, and Pedro declared he was ready to
enter New Mexico. Juana López is not accounted for in the list of
families preparing to return to New Mexico, but she appears to be
the Juana López listed as a widow immediately before the children of
Jacinto Sánchez in the 1697 cattle distribution census. In her
household was her niece named Lucinda.
Curiously, Jacinto and his brother Pedro, as well as the family of
doña Francisca Sánchez de Iñigo, were not accounted for in the 1697
cattle distribution census, although immediately following Juana
López were the names of the ""orphans" of Jacinto Sánchez named as
Juana, Gertrudis, and Pedro. This absence from the census list may
be accounted for by the fact that Jacinto and Pedro were on the
official roster of the one hundred soldiers of Santa Fe in 1697.
In addition, doña Leonor Baca, Pedro's wife, was killed in the
Pueblo Indian uprising of June 1696, and thus there was only mention
of an orphaned daughter of hers in the 1697 census.
The name of the father of the Sánchez de Iñigo siblings has remained
a mystery since the publication of Origins of New Mexico Families
fifty years ago. Fray Angélico Chávez speculated that the Sánchez de
Iñigo children were fathered by a member of the Dominguez de Mendoza
family and that Juana López "could well have been" a daughter of
Diego López de Castillo. This statement has led some
researchers to identify Juana López as Juana López del Castillo. As
discussed below, records indicated that Juana López may instead have
been a member of the López de Aragón family.
Also recent research into Inquisition records of New
Mexico has uncovered information that Juana López de Aragón had an
affair with a man whose maternal family surname was Sánchez de Iñigo.
Valuable Clues
In the latter part of 1659 and through the early 1660s, Pueblo
Indians as well as vecinos and other residents of New Mexico were
encouraged by Governor don Bernardo López de Mendizábal to come
forward with complaints about the lifestyle of the Franciscan
friars. Inquiries were set up under López de Mendizábal's authority.
Allegations that included the fathering of children with Pueblo
Indians and sexual affairs with Spanish women were brought to light.
Although the specific records of these inquiries have not yet been
uncovered, or perhaps were part of the royal archive in Santa Fe
destroyed in 1680, scattered references to the alleged misbehavior
of some Franciscan friars appear in recorded testimonies of
Inquisition documents of the early 1660s. Inquisition officials in
Mexico City examined the allegations and agreed that there were
abuses by some friars. It was reported that some women did not go to
confession "because they were solicited in the confessional," and
those friars that fathered children were known to have provided
dowries for their daughters.
One friar, Fray Francisco Muñoz, was denounced by Diego Pérez
Romero, who in August 1663 stated that Muñoz "vivido siempre muy
escandolossamente" ("always lived very scandalously") with a
daughter of Captain Diego de Trujillo referred to as 'La Donosa' and
her first cousin doña Juana López de Aragón. With this
information, as well as that related to other friars accused of
affairs with women, I began searching for sources concerning the
history and genealogy of the friars in New Mexico. Jake Ivey, an art
historian and archeologist in Santa Fe, graciously loaned me a
microfilm copy of Libro de contradas y profesiones de novicios de
este convento de Padre San Francisco de Mexico 1562-1680, a
source from the Bancroft Library. Scanning page by page
through the copy of original documents, one particular record caught
my eye with the surname of Sánchez de Iñigo. This turned out to be
the record for Fray Francisco Muñoz who at age eighteen took the
habit of San Francisco on December 20, 1646, in Mexico City. He was
as a native of Puebla de los Ángeles, New Spain, and his mother was
Madalena Sánchez de Iñigo.
Sánchez de Iñigo is a distinct and uncommon Spanish surname.
'Sánchez' is a patronym and 'Iñigo' is an ancient Basque given name
popularized by the royal family of Navarra in the Middle Ages. This
combination of a patronym with a given name connected by the article
'de' is the equivalent of something like 'Ramirez de Diego' or
'González de Pedro,' or in English it is akin to 'Anderson of Henry'
or 'Johnson of Peter.' Alternatively, it should also be considered
that there may be a small town in Spain named Iñigo and thus Sánchez
de Iñigo would follow the general pattern of a patronym followed by
a toponym (place name). In either case, Sánchez de Iñigo is a
distinctive and rare extended surname.
The next intriguing piece of information was that
Fray Francisco Munoz's father was named Jacinto Munoz. As a given
name, Jacinto was not as common as names such as Francisco, Juan,
Diego, Pedro, or Cristobal, which can be found more frequently in
records of early seventeenth-century New Spain and New Mexico. The
full record of the acceptance of the Franciscan habit of Fray
Francisco Munoz reads:

In this record Fray Francisco Muñoz was identified
as a native of Puebla, age eighteen (b.ca.1629), and a legitimate
son of Jacinto Muñoz and doña Madalena Sánchez de Iñigo. As
discussed further below, Fray Francisco Muñoz was a Franciscan
priest who was in New Mexico as early as 1660 and survived the
Pueblo Indian Revolt of August 1680.
The information presented above offers intriguing
clues that allow researchers to seriously consider the parents of
the Sánchez de Iñigo family of New Mexico as Fray Francisco Muñoz
Sánchez de Iñigo and doña Juana López de Aragón. The surname of
Sánchez de Iñigo appears in records of late seventeenth-century New
Mexico. During that period, based on genealogical research of the
past fifty years, the only known individuals with this surname
living in New Mexico were Fray Francisco Muñoz Sánchez de Iñigo (b.
ca. 1629), the two sons of Juana Lopez -Jacinto Sanchez de Inigo (b.ca
1663) and Pedro Sanchez de Inigo (b.ca 1673-1674)- and Francisca
Sánchez de Iñigo (an apparent sister of Jacinto and Pedro). In
addition, given names that appear in the early generations of the
Sánchez de Iñigo family -such as Jacinto, Pedro, Francisca,
Francisco, and Juana- are also found in the genealogy of Fray
Francisco Muñoz and doña Juana López de Aragón, which is in
accordance with the tradition of naming children after immediate
relatives.
López de Aragón
Doña Juana López de Aragón was a daughter of Francisco López de
Aragón and doña Ana Baca, and was referred to as a first cousin of a
woman named only as 'La Donosa,' a daughter of Diego de Trujillo.
Francisco López de Aragón owned an estancia called El Alamo, which
upon his death before 1659 was then owned by his wife, doña Ana
Baca. When Governor don Bernardo López de Mendizábal arrived in New
Mexico in July 1659 he called for the vecinos (tax-paying citizens)
of New Mexico to come to Santa Fe and present their papers and
titles. Doña Ana Baca, as a widow, appeared in Santa Fe on July 19,
1659, to present her papers, which was recorded by the governor's
secretary Miguel de Noriega. These papers, most likely including the
service papers of her husband as well as title to their land,
consisted of twenty pages. Doña Ana Baca was a literate woman who
wrote a petition in October 1661 in response to the call for
citizens to come forward with any complaints about Governor López de
Mendizábal during his residencia (review of his tenure ). In this
petition she mentioned she owned an estancia for farming four
leagues from Santa Fe call El Alamo and without knowing how she had
the small amount of land tilled and sown with assistance from her
brother-in-law, whom she did not name, but mentioned he had gone to
the "provincias de moquino." This information corresponds to Captain
Diego de Trujillo, who was appointed as alcalde mayor of the
jurisdiction of the provinces of Moqui in 1659 by Governor López de
Mendizábal. This is further clarified by the identification of
a daughter of Diego de Trujillo as a cousin of doña Juana López de
Aragón, which supports the identification of Trujillo as the
brother-in-law of doña Ana Baca. This relationship provides a
critical piece of information because in 1696 Juan de Trujillo was a
witness for the pre-nuptial investigation of Jacinto Sánchez de
Iñigo. Trujillo stated he had known Jacinto since his birth circa
1663. Juan de Trujillo was born circa 1650-1651, and thus would have
been about twelve years old when Jacinto was born. Jacinto Sánchez
de Iñigo and Juan Trujillo could very well have been relatives, thus
accounting for Trujillo's familiarity with Jacinto since birth. If
so, then perhaps Juana López, the mother of the Sánchez de Iñigo
siblings, may indeed have been doña Juana López de Aragón.
Fray Angélico Chávez postulated that Juana López de Aragón was the
same individual as Juana de Aragon, who was killed in Taos at the
time of the Pueblo Indian uprising and who was the wife of Sebastián
de Herrera Corrales. Additional research is needed to clarify
whether doña Juana López de Aragón was the same person known as
Juana López, who survived the uprising, or Juana de Aragón, who died
in August 1680.
Muñoz and Sánchez de Iñigo
Fray Francisco Muñoz was a Franciscan priest assigned to New Mexico
by 1660. In September of that year, Muñoz was mentioned as being the
guardian friar of the Pueblo of Picuris in a statement made by Fray
Nicolás de Chávez in Mexico City, who further mentioned: "And this
Father Francisco Muñoz went to the convent of San Marcos where this
deponent was alone... ..and on that same morning, Saturday, he
[Muñoz] met this deponent two leagues from the convent of San Marcos
at a farm which they call Los Cerrillos -the owner of which is Doña
Bernardina, widow of one Diego Márquez whom they beheaded in New
Mexico..." Providing testimony at the Pueblo de Isleta on May
25, 1661, Fray Francisco Muñoz, age thirty (b. ca. 1631), denounced
Captain Juan Dominguez de Mendoza for making amorous advances
towards his comadre doña Ana Moreno de Trujillo, wife of Cristóbal
Baca. Two years later, in August 1663, Muñoz was referred to as the
guardian of the Pueblo de San Ildefonso and was denounced in a
statement of Captain Diego Romero as having "always lived
scandalously" ("vivido siempre muy escandolossamente") with a woman
known only as 'La Donosa,' daughter of Captain Diego de Trujillo,
and with her cousin doña Juana López de Aragón. It is not certain if
the Office of the Inquisition investigated this allegation against
Muñoz. Two years later, on October 15,
1665, at the Pueblo of Sandia, Fray Francisco Muñoz identified
himself as a native of the "Ciudad de los Ángeles" (Puebla de los
Ángeles, New Spain) and gave his age as thirty-six (b.ca. 1629).
This information matches that which was provided in the record of
his acceptance of the Franciscan habit in 1646.
Fray Francisco Muñoz continued to serve in New
Mexico and was at the Pueblo of Zia in August 1680 when he and four
soldiers "escaped by dint of hard riding" on horseback with hostile
Indians on their trail. They encountered a small troop of soldiers
under the command of lieutenant general Alonso Garcia who escorted
them to safety. On August 14th, while encamped at the Pueblo of
Isleta, Fray Francisco Muñoz was one of the friars that agreed with
the opinion of Garcia to continue moving southward to seek shelter,
aid, and safety. Muñoz and other friars were consulted again
at San Cristobal (September 14th) and at La Salineta (October 2nd).
By October 15, 1680, the refugees were at EI Paso del Rio del Norte
where Muñoz and three other friars wrote a letter addressed to the
virceroy of New Spain. This is the last account of Fray Francisco
Muñoz in New Mexico that has been extracted from archival documents
in regard to the research of this article. Basically, Muñoz was in
New Mexico from at least 1660 through the fall of 1680, representing
a lengthy career in New Mexico spanning at least twenty years.
The maternal grandparents of Fray Francisco Muñoz, Pedro de lñigo
and Maria Sanchez were residents of the Ciudad de Puebla de los
Ángeles, New Spain, in the latter part of the 1500s. Their combined
surnames formed the distinctive Sánchez de lñigo family name. Their
daughter doña Madalena Sánchez de lñigo (also known as Madalena
Sánchez), a native of Puebla de los Ángeles, was first married on
September 6, 1609, Puebla de los Ángeles, with Pedro López de
Villegas, a native of Madrid, Spain, and a son of Domingo López and
Ynés de Villegas. Their marriage was recorded in the books of the
sagrario chapel of the cathedral in Puebla de los Ángeles:
p Lopes Ma Sarces

Four of their known children were baptized in the sagrario chapel of
the cathedral in Puebla de los Ángeles:
.Magdalena Lópes Sánchez, bt. July 1, 1620.
.Jusepa [Josefa] López Sánchez, bt. April 3, 1623.
.Pedro López, Sánchez, bt. February 10, 1625.
.Leonor López Sánchez, bt. May 28, 1627.
It is likely they had children born before 1620, but these children
may not have been baptized at the sagrario chapel of the Catedral de
Puebla. Additional research is needed to identify any other López-Sánchez
children.
While pregnant with her daughter Leonor, doña
Madalena Sánchez de Iñigo, widowed of Pedro López de Villegas,
married Jacinto Muñoz on February 9, 1627, as recorded in the
sacramental book of the sagrario chapel of the Catedral de Puebla.
As seen in the transcription of this marriage record, Jacinto Muñoz
was a native of Sevilla, Spain, and a son of Francisco Muñoz and
Leonor Ortiz:

There is very likely a record of passage for Jacinto Muñoz, or for
his parents, that may be part of the records of the Archivo General
de Indias in Sevilla, Spain. Also, additional research into the
Muñoz family genealogy will need to be conducted using records for
Sevilla. The Muñoz surname is a Galician-Asturian patronym of
northern Spain literally translated as 'son of Munio,' and dates
back to at least to the ninth century.
Jacinto Muñoz and doña Madalena Sánchez de Iñigo were the parents of
at least three children that were baptized in the sagrario chapel of
the Catedral de Puebla, including Francisco Muñoz who entered the
religious order of San Francisco:
.Francisco (I) Muñoz Sánchez, bt. October 16, 1628, who may have
died within the
first year of life.
.Francisco (II) Muñoz Sánchez, bt. October 22, 1629, who took the
habit of San
Francisco and declared he was 18 years old in 1646 (b. ca. 1629).
.Teresa Muñoz Sánchez, bt. February 9,1631.
The genealogy chart above provides a visual illustration of the
genealogy of the Sánchez de Iñigo family that emerges from the
various fragments of information that have been uncovered from
archival documents. If Fray Francisco Muñoz was indeed the father of
the Sánchez de Iñigo children, as is strongly suggested in the
evidence presented above, he may have remained in New Mexico out of
desire to stay near his children.
Concluding Remarks
The research presented in this article is intended to assist further
genealogical research into the Sánchez de Iñigo family. The loss of
so many valuable historical records presents challenges for
reconstructing many seventeenth-century New Mexico family
genealogies. In the case of the Sánchez de Iñigo family, a few
scatter fragments of critical information have been uncovered that
serve as important pieces of the family puzzle. As such, the pattern
of given names within the Sánchez de Iñigo family coupled with the
distinctive surname of this family and the accusation of
'scandalously living' against Fray ~ Francisco Muñoz offer an
argument for considering Muñoz as the father of the Sánchez de Iñigo
siblings. Surnames link individuals to previous generations of
paternal or maternal family members. This was particularly so in
Spanish society of the seventeenth century, which highly valued
family honor. One form of expression of this honor was in the use of
paternal and maternal given names and surnames. Whether there were
ever records of friars of New Mexico acknowledging their children
will remain a mystery unless such records come to light. In the
meantime, it appears that Fray Francisco Muñoz left a valuable clue
for posterity by identifying his mother with the distinctive and
rare surname of Sánchez de Iñigo and by what appears to be the
christening of his sons with the given names of Jacinto (his
father's name) and Pedro (his maternal grandfather's name) and by
passing along his maternal family surname to these individuals.
The information presented in this article could be a bizarre set of
coincidences, or perhaps it was coincidence that brought to light
these surviving fragments of information from various sources to
begin to put together the lost pieces of the puzzle regarding the
Sánchez de Iñigo ancestry. The findings are shared for the sake of
offering assistance to restore the memory of a lost family lineage.
In addition, this article begins to seriously explore the topic of
Franciscan friars having children and leaving descendants in New
Mexico. Interested readers are encouraged to write their comments
about the conclusions presented in this article and address them to
the editor of this genealogical journal. There may be additional
information collected by other researchers that will support,
refine, or even refute aspects of the findings presented here.
